Sony launched its second generation SmartBand called the SmartBand 2. This latest SmartBand comes with a heart rate sensor and it can track your steps for days. According to the company this band is a multi sensor life-logger that provides full scale insights about your fitness and stress levels thereby helping you in controlling the levels. This SmartBand is currently available in black and white color options.

The features of SmartBand 2 is almost similar to those of the previous version. It offers health tracking and sleep tracking features. This SmartBand is basically a fitness tracker with a built-in heart rate sensor built. It also lets you know how much you moved during your day. The gadget also acts as a smartwatch as it lets you receive notifications on your wrist through vibrations and LEDs alerts whenever you you receive a call, a message or an email. The main important feature and task of this SmartBand is to monitor your stress level or your level of excitement. The idea behind this is that it combines information from the accelerator meter with that of the heart rate sensor so that it can map your heart rate with each activity or each step you take.

Sony SmartBand 2 also has a night mode which disables notifications. You have the added provision of setting up an alarm clock. Also, there is already an Android companion app released by Sony through which you can pause your music, go to your previous or next track by tapping once or twice. The bottom-line however is that this SmartBand has an average battery backup that lasts only for 2 days.
